It was all junior Mike Henry could think about as he stopped at his locer on the way from woodshop to homeroom. With no projects to work on, woodshop students were playing softball, which had made Henry hot and sweaty. Several girls packed into a corner were talking as Henry sat down and laid his head on his desk, catching various parts of the announcements. All I do is sleep during homeroom, he said. There is really nothing else to do.” Using his notebook and two textbooks as a pillow, Henry slept until the bell woke 1E3D Three minutes meant waiting. Senior Nicole Brints hurried to put up her instrument. Lunch seemed so far away. When the bell rang, relieved students jumped to crowd out the doorway. Brints met two of her friends in front of the Band Hall. We switch cars. Some days we go in mine, and some days we don’t, she said. Today they took Brints’ car. And the race began. Cars weaving lanes and roaring up beside each other were enough to make the best driver nervous. Safely arriving at Burger King, Brints and her friends hopped out of her car to beat the lunch rush. Ordering the usual, a chicken sandwich, Brints used the last of the $5 her parents him. Making mirrors in second period metal shop was a breeze compared to the boredom Henry faced going to third period English. We’re reading Of Mice and Men right now; so I read or take notes, Henry said. But if class is really boring, sometimes I will just sleep.

He hoped the bell would ring soon giving him the opportunity to make his usual Taco Villa lunch run. gave her at the beginning of the week. She would have to depend on her paycheck for lunch now. She found a seat and watched some sophomore girls order at the drive through until her friends joined her. Brints and her friends discussed the morning’s events: the new flag routine and the major English exam. But before long, 1:20 rolled around and the girls headed back to the school. The afternoon was a breeze, but Brints had work at Otto’s Granary to look forward to that evening. I’ve been working at Otto’s for a long time, she said. “I’m used to it but most people don’t stay there long.” Oh, to go out tonight, Brints thought as the 2:30 bell rang, and she headed for her car thankful for senior study hall. 8:26 Making believe it’s the first day of first grade, senior Nicole Brints blows off first period art class on Senior Kid Day.
